This can't possibly be about Abandonware, since software that's still being sold is not abandonware, and a lot of the games on that list can still be gotten through legal means, even if the corporations that originally made them no longer o

I'm not sure there's much of a difference. If the people thought these words without saying them and the scientist could know what the words were, that is mind reading. It doesn't matter much, IMO, where in the brain they are reading them f

People are downvoting you not because they disagree with your opinion, but because it adds nothing to the conversation. That's frowned upon in HN. The response you replied to was perfectly valid: there's no iOS or WP7 bundles because they a

It surely takes less time to see than on hundred $2 million movies. I'd much rather watch one good movie than 10 decent ones. Not that movie budget has anything to do with quality, but still.

Some people already make their own molds out of miniatures and use the to build their own. It's a lot harder than printing them, though.

I think you are confusing Castle Crashers with some other game. Castle Crashers is and old-school beat them up with very nice art. Also, the problem you describe exists in all entertainment industries. I don't think we've innovated much in

The problem is the feedback loop: the people who work at the government want money, and the big corporations make a lot of money. My opinion is that we should device a system in which money is meaningless to people who make decisions about

I don't accept anything, I just think the comparison between what is happening now and what happened in the '70s is flawed. The difference is humongous. Not only because the number of people who died is smaller, but because there there's a

I've lived in Argentina for twenty years, and I have to say there's a huge qualitative difference between this and la guerra sucia.During those years, there was actual fear that if you fought against the dictatorship, your your family or o

I do this, but I buy all most of my books from www.betterworldbooks.com. It has free shipping to Argentina(where most pages won't even ship here, and Amazaon charges a hefy fee), and it gives a lot of the profits to charity. Getting books i

You are right in that example, but saying that downloading a file illegaly is stealing is still wrong. It is an broad and overreaching definition of "stealing". Stealing is the substraction of an object. If I steal something from you, you d

I don't think the slogan is talking about the value of knowing latin today(or a few years ago), it's about the value knowing latin in the middle ages. In the middle ages(in Europe), knowing latin meant you had access to most of the culture

Why not? Culinary art is art. If a crappy painting can be concidered badly made art, your pizza surely can be concidered badly made culinary art, at the very least. I personally think that anything that was made with intention can be qualif

I think the big deal is that it's supposed to convert poligon based graphics to voxels in real time. Which I doubt it can actually do, but if it can, it would be kind of cool.

I completely agree with what you are saying: self-education is not comparable to real guided education, except maybe in a few extraordinary situations. However, I think that's not the point of the post, or even what the author is saying. Wh

I think what he's arguing is that if you spend lots of monwy on something, you should either be quite certain that it's an investement, or it should be money you don't care about. Bassically, don't get education you cna't afford. He jsut me

This is hardly computer science, it's only programming. Calling this computer science is similar to saying that a course in grammar and spelling is a course in literature. Programming, while vital to most forms of computer science, and the

I have a personal set of beliefs that doesn't fit in any organized religion (though it takes a lot from budhism and juedo-christianism). I'm not sure how to complete the poll.

That isn't what atheism is, or at least that isn't what most English-speaking people who describe themselves as atheist mean by it. Western atheists think the existence of any deities is unproven; it is not supported by the evidence. That

That only works in countries that have a lot of people in OKCupid(or a similar service). Despite the recent growth in USA and some other parts of the world, a lot of places still heavily stigmatize the use of dating sites, specially among p
